GCA launches automotive recruitment campaign
A new automotive recruitment campaign shining the spotlight on the varied careers within the sector has been launched by Glen Callum Associates (GCA).
The campaign, ‘Our Aftermarket’, includes a series of online interviews with industry leaders sharing their careers and emphasising the job development opportunities that are available.
Led by GCA director Glen Shephard, the interviewees include Nigel Duffield, director of Northern Europe at PHINIA Delphi, Steve Jarnet, commercial director at Corteco UK and Neil Grant, managing director at Hella UK.
Shephard said: “For too long, the term ‘aftermarket’ has been misunderstood. People still think it’s all spanners and spark plugs, but in reality, this is a £21bn sector in the UK alone, spanning IT, data, diagnostics, EV tech, digital transformation and a plethora of senior leadership roles.
“Our campaign aims to shift the narrative and celebrate the diversity, innovation and career longevity this space truly offers.”
He continued: “Attracting talent is only half the story; we also need to retain it. That means showcasing a clear path for growth, championing diversity and making it known that this industry is future-facing, fast-moving and full of potential.
“From sustainability and EVs to data and diagnostics, there’s no shortage of innovation and it’s time we told that story better.”
